About Coveo
We strongly believe that the future is business-to-person. That
experiences are today's competitive front line, a make or break for
every business. We also believe that remarkable experiences not
only enhance user satisfaction but also yield significant gains for
enterprises. That is what we call the AI-experience advantage – the
degree to which the content, products, recommendations, and advice
presented to a person online aligns easily with their needs,
intent, preferences, context, and behavior, resulting in superior
business outcomes.
To realize this AI-experience advantage at scale, enterprises
require a robust, spinal and composable infrastructure capable
of unifying content securely and delivering AI search, AI
recommendations, true personalization, and a trusted generative
experience at every touchpoint with each individual customer,
partner and employee. Coveo is dedicated to bringing this advantage
to every point-of-experience, using powerful data and AI models to
transform the enterprise in commerce, customer service, website,
and workplace.
The Coveo platform is ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 certified,
SOC2 compliant, and HIPAA compatible, with a 99.999% SLA available.
We are a Salesforce AppExchange Partner, an
SAPⓇ Endorsed App, an Adobe Technology Gold
Partner, a MACH Alliance member, and a Genesys
AppFoundryⓇ ISV Partner.
